Flamingo at the aquarium near Seaquarium Beach, south of Willemstad, Curaçao

Flamingo

Flamingo Garden in Ft. Lauderdale while Jennifer was in class. The flamingos were the highlight of the park. Apparently, the feathers are pink from the foods in their diet (which include brine shrimp and blue-green algae). Their oddly-shaped beaks are specially adapted to separate mud and silt from the food they eat, and are uniquely used upside-down. (Wikipedia)
